I mix a drop with my cream when applying, and the hydration is remarkable. Especially in the evening, I used to need additional products after my skincare routine, but with this oil, my skin feels great until morning. It doesn't feel like you're applying an oil at all. There's no greasy residue. With other oils, I sometimes got small bumps, but this one keeps my skin comfortable and blemish-free. I particularly love how quickly it absorbs. There's no notable scent, and the container is lightweight and convenient since it's not glass.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it. Twenty characters is too short to express that!
TipTry mixing it with your moisturizer if it lacks richness.

I love how it absorbs well into my skin right away without feeling like it's just sitting on top.
ConsOne of the best things about Olive Barrier products used to be their lack of scent and color. However, since the product renewal, there seems to be a slight rubber-like or peculiar odor.

I once tried a natural oil from i soi because of its good ingredients, but it was too thick, sticky, and left an oily residue. It also clogged my pores, so I didn't have a great experience. This Olivebarrier Fluid Oil, however, flows clear like water and is completely fragrance-free, no matter how closely I sniff it. The previous oil had a pleasant but overwhelming scent, which might have stressed my skin even more. The container is plastic, not glass, so I feel safe knowing it won't shatter if I accidentally drop it. I keep comparing it to the previous product... The dropper tip is so convenient. With i soi, I'd sometimes spill too much and have to scoop it back, which was unhygienic and wasteful. This one allows for easy, hygienic dispensing. I applied it to my face after my skincare routine. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy like typical oils, but you can feel a slight 'oil barrier' forming. It is an oil, after all :) Surprisingly, it absorbs incredibly fast. It doesn't irritate or sit on top of the skin, and despite being an oil, it leaves a matte finish. My skin looks smooth and baby-soft. It's amazing. My sunscreen applied even more smoothly than usual. My makeup, which usually doesn't adhere well and requires lots of patting, applied so well that I even skipped concealer! Before applying this, my skin felt raw and stinging in the cold wind, but that sensation has definitely decreased. I think this will become my winter staple. The flaky patches on my dry areas also seem more manageable now.
Cons#Focuses_on_freshness #Longevity_could_be_better #Touch-ups_needed As time passes, it seems to mix with natural oils, causing the base makeup to break down in an unflattering way. I admit I was a bit careless with my skincare and didn't touch up, but even for an oil, it can't be expected to last all day. An oil that lasts all day would likely clog the pores of someone with my skin type. It's best to check in the mirror and touch up where needed throughout the day. I noticed some white residue around my nose.
TipWhile it's lightweight, its moisturizing power isn't very strong. Make sure to thoroughly hydrate in your skincare steps underneath for less makeup breakdown! To avoid pilling when used with this oil product, a semi-matte base might work better than a very emollient one.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: 1. It's not sticky 2. Being an oil, it absorbs well 3. It doesn't sit on the skin and absorbs quickly 4. Compared to other oils, it doesn't feel overly rich, making it comfortable to use! After completing my skincare routine, I warm the oil in my hands and apply it to my face. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't leave my skin looking greasy. Instead, it gives my complexion a plump, hydrated appearance with a beautiful glow! The best part is that while other oils can feel heavy on dry winter skin, this one, being plant-based, absorbs quickly and gives a moisturized radiance without feeling burdensome.
ConsWhile there aren't many downsides, here are a couple: 1. It's on the pricier side, which might make repurchasing a bit challenging. 2. I didn't notice any particular effect on blemishes. In fact, I recently had a skin issue and wondered if it might have been caused by this product. Of course, it could just be a coincidence or due to other bodily changes.
TipI usually mix face oils with my moisturizer, but this one is so light that it's great to apply on its own!

Firstly, considering the characteristics of oil, the absorption was really good. It finished with a fresh feel and wasn't sticky at all. Secondly, the product was incredibly gentle. I'd say its biggest advantage is how mild it is!
ConsThe downside is that it might disappoint those who need extreme hydration. While using it with a cream helps, it's an oil that's suitable for transitional seasons. I didn't really notice much effect on dead skin cells.
TipMixing the oil with cream creates a well-blended texture that's not overwhelming, providing good hydration without feeling heavy. If you apply makeup after using this oil, you can experience an amazing glow!

The plastic container is incredibly lightweight, which I loved. It absorbs well and quickly. It's not too oily, but feels like it gently coats your skin with hydration. I didn't experience any blemishes.
ConsAfter an hour or two, my skin felt dry and I needed to apply a moisturizer. The price is wickedly high...
TipMake sure to apply a moisturizer.

First off, I was thrilled with how quickly it absorbed into my skin. As someone with oily skin, I was worried that using an oil might make my skin look even greasier, but it absorbed beautifully without any greasy feeling at all - just pure hydration. The dropper made it super easy to control the amount I used, so I could apply just the right amount. I used it in my routine after toner and before emulsion, and it didn't interfere with the application of my emulsion at all. Even when I put on makeup, despite the dry winter weather, my skin looked prettier than usual!
ConsI was chosen as one of The Hwahae Testers, but when I received the product, I was disappointed by how small the amount was compared to what I expected. It felt like poor value for money. After switching to this oil, I had to change my cleansing foam, and for some reason, my skin completely freaked out. I even started getting closed comedones and blemishes that I never had before! I'll update my review after using it a bit longer to see if things improve.
TipWhile applying the oil on its own was nice, I found that mixing it with my cleansing foam or emulsion worked really well too, without feeling heavy on the skin.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers I used to think oils were heavy and sticky, but this product completely changed my mind! It's incredibly lightweight yet provides excellent hydration. It applies incredibly smoothly and absorbs quickly. What's more, it gives your face a subtle glow that makes your skin look healthier. When I mix it with my slightly drying mineral sunscreen or apply the oil first and then the sunscreen, my skin doesn't feel dry at all! Even in this cold, dry weather, my skin doesn't feel tight when I use this. In my opinion, the most important aspects of oils are their moisturizing power and ingredients, and this product scores perfectly in both areas. The scent is practically non-existent. I'm not sure if I'm just not sensitive to smells, but I couldn't detect any fragrance at all. Looking at the ingredient list, I noticed it doesn't contain any added fragrances. It's so rare to find a product with zero harmful ingredients, so I felt like I'd finally found a truly great product.
ConsTo be honest, there aren't really any downsides, but if you use it with products that are already quite oily, you might find it a bit greasy depending on your skin type. However, this is common with all oils, so you don't need to worry too much. Also, while it's great for combination dehydrated skin like mine, it might be slightly less hydrating for those with very dry skin.
TipAs I mentioned earlier, it works really well when used with mineral sunscreens or drying base products!

It absorbs well into the skin!
ConsIf you have dry skin, it seems like this would absorb quickly!
TipI apply it once in the morning and again before bed. The next day, my makeup goes on even better. On particularly dry days, it works well mixed with other creams too.

About a week after applying, I got a text saying I'd been selected for the fluid oil. I was incredibly curious about how to use an oil, as I'd only ever thought of oils as something that sits on top of the skin, making it shiny and feeling heavy on the face. But this product absorbs instantly upon application! When I received it, I took some photos for the review and then put a drop on the back of my hand to try it. By the time I closed the cap, it had already been fully absorbed. The best part was that when I applied it to areas with blemishes or breakouts, it not only calmed the irritation but also made pimples disappear in just two days! Usually, even without touching them, it takes at least a week. But the one on my nose was gone in just two days - amazing! As for the texture, being an oil, it feels slippery and shiny when you first apply it. But once it absorbs, the shininess reduces and your skin feels almost powdery (it doesn't slip when you touch it). I loved how it left my skin feeling hydrated deep down while the surface felt soft and smooth.
ConsFor my combination skin, it was a bit much to apply on my nose area before going out. If I had to mention one more downside, it's that you can still feel a bit of oiliness on your hands after application.
TipThis is a fantastic product for achieving that 'glass skin' look! Apply it before your base makeup, and then pat a drop or two on top of your finished skin makeup for incredible results. If you have oily skin and are hesitant to use it during the day, or if you think it's too shiny to go out with, try applying it generously before bed. It works wonders for calming blemishes overnight! Note: If you apply it to your forehead, pin your bangs back as it can make your hair look greasy in the morning. The fifth photo shows immediately after application, and the last photo is one minute later.
